== History == An octagonal seven-story pagoda is built in the central courtyard of the temple. Three golden halls are located around the pagoda; this arrangement with three halls around a pagoda would become a standard in Pyongyang as the capital of Goguryeo. An original wooden pagoda was on the grounds, later replaced by a stone pagoda made in the image of the wooden one. The site was excavated in 1974-1975 by the Kim Il-sung Comprehensive University.
